    Ask Liz Hustedt About...Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
    Jul 26 2024
    Host Matt Latham is joined by Point 'n' Click superfan Liz Hustedt to talk about a very, very strong candidate for the best Point 'n' Click game of all time: Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. Alongside Liz's history with the genre, the episode delves into why the game might be one of the best, why it's popular, whether it's an example of sequels being better than the predecessor, the infamous monkey-wrench puzzle, the characterisation of Guybrush compared to later games and, of course, that ending. The episode will also go into a brief spoilery chat about Return to Monkey Island and whether the game offers a new context of certain crticisms about the ending; and whether it has actually improved MI2's overall quality.
